You don't understand; I don't have the module because I don't have any
hardware in the system that uses snd-intel8x0m - I have snd-hda-intel.

 The suffix m indicates a modem driver.  Try it out.  If modprove -v doesn't 
 complain see if you can dial out.  You may also need to emerge 
 net-dialup/slmodem and see if that helps.  If neither do the trick 
 modprobe -r the snd-intel8x0m and unmerge slmodem before you carry on with 
 your search.
 
 Good luck.

 Just a guess, but did you emerge a new gentoo-sources with the symlink USE 
 flag, but then not build it? Might also get that if the kernel in

 I do understand. The script is telling you it needs the module; some
 winmodems require sound modules; so add the module. You can always
 remove it at the next kernel upgrade if it turns out to be unnecessary.
 
 

OK.  I checked my kernel config again and it did have the snd-intel8x0
driver built as a module, but not the snd-intel8x0m.  I rebuilt the
kernel with the snd-intel8x0m module and rebooted.  It modprobes
successfully.  I emerged slmodem successfully this time (I don't know if
I still need it.)  I made the suggested entry in /etc/modules.d/alsa and

 What does the lspci -v  lshw look like.  If what ever modules you installed 
 are used by the modem it should be evident now.
 
 Assuming that some module has picked up your hardware device you can use 
 either wvdial, or kppp to dialout.

[gentoo-user] OT - Virtual Caller ID with asterisk?

2006-12-09 Thread Michael Sullivan
Now that I've got linux recognizing my modem, I was wondering if I could
somehow set asterisk up to give me caller ID information.  Is this
possible with asterisk?  My modem is only Fax/Data (no voice), but this
shouldn't be a problem if all I want is the caller ID, should it?

[gentoo-user] OT - Need more help with Asterisk

2006-12-12 Thread Michael Sullivan
Can anyone give me a simple easy-to-understand place to start for
setting up Asterisk?  All I want it for is for Caller ID and to drop
calls from certain phone numbers.  I have a US Robots data/fax modem.
Asterisk is running (as evidenced by ps ax) and the phone line is
plugged into the computer.  I know this is correct because I can dial
out with kppp.  Someone suggested that I look at my modem's manual for
how to do this; my modem did not come with a manual, and I am not at all
hardware-savvy.  Others have written back and suggested alternate
hardware.  My wife and I have $25.00USD to last us the rest of the
month, It's like this every month, so I can't exactly buy new hardware.
I have to work with what we have.  I called our home number (the number
whose phone line is plugged into my computer) from my cell phone while
sitting at the asterisk CLI command console.  I heard the phone ring on
the other extension, so I typed 'answer'.  Asterisk came back with No
one is calling us  Meanwhile the phone was still ringing.  I've googled
for asterisk tutorials, but I can't seem to find anything that's basic
enough for me to understand.  Please help.

 Start here.

 Read the first few chapters or so.  Set aside having the answer Right
 Now and devote some time to theory and concepts.  The asterisk dialplan
 configuration is a little difficult to understand at first, at least it
 was for me.  You can email me with any questions if you want or try
 various means of the asterisk community.  Both the official irc channel
 
 irc://irc.freenode.net/#asterisk
 
 and mailing list
 
 http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
 
 are very active and usually helpful.
 
 From your account I can't tell whether you have a softphone installed.
 I recommend iaxcomm, but unfortunately I can't get 
 
 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81393
 
 to work because it wants the entire 152 Mib iaxclient svn repo for just
 one 2.2 Mib application and because of a couple of other bugs in the
 ebuild.  You may also try kiax which is what I've been using until I get
 around to making iaxcomm work.  Kphone might also work for you too.

 I recommend iaxcomm, but unfortunately I can't get 
 
 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81393
 
 to work because it wants the entire 152 Mib iaxclient svn repo for just
 one 2.2 Mib application and because of a couple of other bugs in the
 ebuild.  You may also try kiax which is what I've been using until I get
 around to making iaxcomm work.  Kphone might also work for you too.
 
 How is asterisk communicating with your modem card?

kiax is a bust until I get asterisk to play nice with my modem.  I tried

I'm trying to follow the pdf in the link you sent me.  On page 79 it
lists some stuff to add to /etc/zaptel.conf (I emerged zaptel):

The zaptel.conf file located in /etc/ is used to configure your
hardware. The following minimal configuration defines an FXO port with
FXS signaling:

   fxsks=2
   loadzone=us
   defaultzone=us

After configuring zaptel.conf, you can load the drivers for the card.
modprobe is used to load modules for use by the Linux kernel. For
example, to load the wctdm driver, you would run:
 # modprobe wctdm

If the drivers load without any output, they have loaded successfully.*
You can verify that the hardware and ports were loaded and configured
correctly with the use of the ztcfg program:
 # /sbin/ztcfg –vv
The channels that are configured and the signaling method being used
will be dis-
played. For example, a TDM400P with one FXO module has the following
output:
 Zaptel Configuration
 ==
 Channel map:
 Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
 1 channels configured.
If you receive the following error, you have configured the channel for
the wrong sig-naling method:
 ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 2: Invalid argument (22)
 Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO
signalling
 and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling?

However, I get this:

camille ~ # /sbin/ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Configuration
==


Channel map:

Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)

1 channels configured.

ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 2: No such device or address (6)

I have no idea what it's talking about, or even what device or address
it's trying to find...

[gentoo-user] Almost Completely OT - Hacking the Telephone Adapter

2006-12-23 Thread Michael Sullivan
My wife and I signed up with Vonage VoIP service last week.  They sent
us a telephone adapter to plug into our DSL modem/router that would
allow us to use our analog phones with Vonage.  Since it's plugged in to
our router, I found its IP address and scanned it with nmap.  The thing
allows http and ssh access.  nmap said the adapter runs Linux with a
2.4.x kernel.  I played around some with the web interface after
discovering the username and password.  I'd really like to view some of
the configuration settings and maybe see exactly how OUR adapter
translates analog data into digital data, plus I've never looked around
an embedded system before, but the username used for the web interface
is not an actual account  on the adapters OS.  I'd like to look around
in there, but I don't the names of any of the accounts, and even if I
did, I don't know the password.  The only way I know that the username I
used to get into the web interface is not an account on the system is
because I can view the system log from the web interface.  I own the
adapter; it's sitting on my desk beside me.  I just want to explore the
filesystem.  Is there any way I can get in?  Does anyone know any tricks
for doing this?

 With xmms it's easy to cue up as many tunes as I like.
 Haven't been able to do that in (g)mplayer.
 
 xmms has a neat feature that lets you arrange the

 to hear your tunes in the order they were acquired.
 Cause, naturally, I prefer to hear the newer tunes

because ivtv drivers that work with them are in portage, and I'm not
sure drivers that work with 2.6.11 are still in portage.  Not to mention
I like not having to worry about alsa-driver (in the 2.6.18 kernel,
kernel support for my sound card works; it didn't prior to 2.6.18.)  I
have the kernel source tarball for the 2.6.11 kernel, and I have the

2899 root  17   0  131m  35m  224 R  0.3 59.2  11:03.55 cc1

I took this from a `top` listing.  I'm trying to emerge
sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r3 on my server box.  The merge hasn't moved much in
the last twenty hours, and, if I'm reading this right, this single
compile has been running for eleven hours???  Is this a problem?  Should
I stop it?

[gentoo-user] OT - Is there a gcc-4.1.1 alternative?

2007-01-13 Thread Michael Sullivan
I'm fed up with this.  I've restarted the emerge of gcc-4.1.1-r3 on my
server box four times now.  It always gets to compiling insn-attrtab.o
and then it never stops.  I even went into the Makefile to find the
exact command used to compile this particular object file and ran the
command manually.  It only took half an hour, but when I told it to
emerge sys-devel/gcc, I guess it didn't like my manually built file, so
it's doing it over again.  This time it's been trying to build this file
for over eight hours.

 4499 root  18   0  132m  35m  416 R  1.5 60.2   8:41.94 cc1 

bullet ~ # strace -p 4499
Process 4499 attached - interrupt to quit

This strace doesn't help me much.  What does attached mean, anyway?
Is there some other way for me to get gcc-4 on my server box?  Some
binary package for an i586 maybe?

[gentoo-user] OT - Having a problem booting a vanilla kernel

2007-01-29 Thread Michael Sullivan
I wanted to try installing my Win4Lin 9x 5.0 software, so I unzipped my
vanilla kernel source (2.6.11.12 - the newest patch they have for SMP
kernels) into /usr/src and changed the symlink.  I applied the Win4Lin
patches.  I wanted the config of my currently running kernel, so I said
make oldconfig (make oldconfig does do that, right?)  I didn't turn on
the Win4Lin support yet because I wanted to see if I could get the old
kernel to work without it first.  I set up the kernel in
my /boot/grub/grub.conf file, just like my other kernels.  Pretty
routine.  When I tried to boot with 2.6.11.12, I got this:
quote

You might already know this and have thought a way around it, but in my
experience (plus I've read this in several places) Microsoft Windows
will refuse to boot up unless it is taking up /dev/hda1.  It wants to be
the first OS on the primary hard drive so that it can believe that it is
the only one...

 Only problem: WinXP won't boot. The lines in grub.conf

 I'm sure that's correct: /dev/hdb, first partition.
 It mounts OK and all the files are intact, so ...

[gentoo-user] .MID plugin for mozilla

I can't seem to get my mozilla to play MIDI files embedded in web pages.
I don't understand why.  Before my reinstall (about a week ago) mozilla
knew how to play .mid files.  Now it doesn't.  I have a sound card with
hardware MIDI support and support for it is compiled into the kernel I'm
running, but every time I go to a site that I know has background music
the sound card is silent.  WAV files play just fine.  Any hints?

[gentoo-user] OT -Dumb Terminal and Bonus Question

2005-07-10 Thread Michael Sullivan
On my network there are two machines:  baby and blossom.  baby has a 900
megahertz processor with 256MB RAM.  blossom has a 200 megahertz
processor with 128 RAM.  Right now baby has Gentoo 2005.0 and blossom is
running Red Hat 9.  I would like to set up something where my wife can
log in on blossom (it's my wife's computer) and it connects blossom to
baby (via the network)  I want blossom to act as a dumb terminal, with
all requests made on blossom going to baby.  My wife prefers GNOME, but
it runs so slow on blossom (that's why she wanted RH9)  I'm pretty sure
there's a way to do this, but I don't know how to start.  I know I could
use Google, but I don't know how to phrase my query.  I know that all
this could be accomplished with ssh, but is there a simpler way?


Bonus question:

blossom has a TV card.  I'd like to know (if it's possible) how to
access blossom's TV card from baby.   If it matters here's the output

 it runs so slow on blossom (that's why she wanted RH9)  I'm pretty sure
 there's a way to do this, but I don't know how to start.  I know I could
 use Google, but I don't know how to phrase my query.  I know that all
 this could be accomplished with ssh, but is there a simpler way?
 
 
 You want to use blossom as a thin client?  Three choices that come to mind 
 are xdmcp, nx, and vnc.  If you want you can use a specialized thin client 
 distro such as thinstation or ltsp.
 
  
  Can you point me to any tutorials/HowTo's about doing this?
  
 
 To setup xdmcp on the server you can follow the Displaymanager instructions 
 [1] from the gentoo ltsp howto.  On the client you start the Xserver with the 
 -query option (see the Xserver manpage).  See the xdmcp howto [2] for further 
 information.

It seems to be working.  I changed blossom's default runlevel
in /etc/inittab from 5 (X11) to 3 (full multiuser text-only) and added
X -query baby to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and restarted.  I see baby's login
screen on blossom's monitor.  I logged in and opened mozilla.  baby's
hard drive started clicking so I could tell that all the work was being
done on baby, but when I went to a website that had music it played
through baby's speakers.  blossom has her own sound card and speakers.
Is there any way I could get blossom to use her own speakers?  I noticed
a flag for ltsp called audiofile that was not selected.  Would adding
audiofile to my USE settings do the trick?  I can't seem to remember the
file that has the descriptions of different USE settings...

 You need to configure a sound daemon on the server to forward the sound over 
 the network to another sound daemon on the client.

 I did that just the other day.  Actually, you do it like this:
 
 On your wife's PC, you run the esound daemon
 http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html
 
 On the server (where her gnome session runs, set the sound configuration 
 to use esd, and set the IP of the esd server to be the IP of your wife's 
 machine).
 
 BTW.:  You don't need to be in runlevel 3 to do the remote X thing. 
  From a terminal in the GUI running on RH, run
 #X :1.0 -query IP of Remote Box
 
 This will put an X login on altF8, and have the local X running on 
 altF7

My wife was asking me last night about aisleriot.  I
looked on my games menu and did not see it there.  I
have gnome-games-2.10.0 - the docs in
/usr/share/doc/gnome-games-2.10.0 say that aisleriot
should be available.  The README file in
/usr/share/doc/gnome-games-2.10.0 listed the filename
as sol and I tried locateing some of the other
games included in the gnome-games package.  They were
in /usr/bin, but sol was not there.  Any advice on
this?  I even re-emerged the gnome-games package last
night with no luck...

[gentoo-user] Need more help with remote access of local X server

2005-08-02 Thread Michael Sullivan
Last month I started a thread on this list about setting up an
arrangement so that my wife's computer running Red Hat 9 would be able
to access my X server.  I was referred to the Gentoo LTSP guide.  I
followed the guide and set it up.  It worked great for about a week and
then it just kinda stopped.  Now whenever the command X :1.0 -query
bay (baby is my computer running Gentoo) is issued all we get on my
wife's computer is a blank screen with an X cursor (pointer) in the
middle of it.  The cursor can be moved around, but the screen remains
blank otherwise.  Since she is using RH9 (which reached its end-of-life
years ago) and she never installs new software on it (a.k.a it never
changes) and my Gentoo system is updated every night, I thought the
problem must be with my computer.  I went back through the LTSP guide
and checked everything - it all looked right.  I've checked the X
windows log files on both machines, but didn't find anything.  Could
something else be causing this that's not mentioned in the guide?  Any
other advice on how to remedy this problem?

Nevermind.  I missed something when I was going through the guide.
Enable in the [xdmcp] section of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf was set to
false.  Probably by etc-update.  I guess I'd forgotten that I changed
that file...

My first Linux was Red Hat 8.0.  I then went to RH 9.0 and Fedora Core
1.  I for one would not recommend Gentoo to a person who has never used
Linux before.  I certainly wouldn't have understood it.  Think of it as
a test of the strong:  Newbies might choose Gentoo and run into all
kinds of problems and ask stupid questions.  Most will get frustrated
and either leave Linux altogether or seek out a more user-friendly
distrobution.  The ones who stick around are the ones worth adding to
the community.  When I first came to Gentoo I asked a lot of stupid
questions (still do) and I get frustrated with it sometimes but I know
that this is what I want and so I'll stick with it.  The newbies like
that will stick around and they will ask stupid questions and learn from
those stupid questions and you will not be able to get rid of them no
matter how hard you try.  Linux is not for the faint of heart (that's
what MSWindows is for.)  If someone wants to learn Linux (Gentoo) and
stick to it then they are worthy of our time...

[gentoo-user] OT - How to work with USB DVD-RW/CD-RW drive

months, but until recently could still write them in
Gentoo.  I ordered a Pacific Digital USB DVD-RW/CD-RW
drive on August 1 and it came in today.  I'm not quite
sure how to go about using it though.  I mainly use
xcdroast for writing CDs (I make daily backups and
write them to CD once a week.)  I use GNOME, and
although my new drive shows up in the computer:///

The device is listed as /dev/sr0, but that's about
as much as I can determine about it.  I want to use it
with xcdroast, but xcdroast lists my two internal
CD-R drives (neither of which can write to CDs because
of the power fluctuations and a few other problems.)
My usb drive isn't even listed...
 

For what it's worth the only command listed above that
shows my external drive is this:

[gentoo-user] Can't find file I need for an emerge!

2005-08-10 Thread Michael Sullivan
Yesterday I got my external DVD-RW/CD-RW drive in.  I
added dvd use flags to /etc/make.conf and issued
emerge  uDN world.  The first package in the emerge
is xcdroast, which is good because that's what I use
to write CDs (and DVDs if I can get this to work.) 
emerge wanted to download the file
xcdroast-0.98_alpha15_new_configure.tar.gz for
xcdroast, but no gentoo mirror I've looked at has it. 
In fact, no gentoo mirror I've looked at has any files
for xcdroast - the listing skips from xcb-2.4.tar.gz
to xchat-1.8.11.tar.bz2 in the alphabetical listing. 
Am I missing something?

[gentoo-user] OT - vsftp 425 bad IP connecting

2005-08-18 Thread Michael Sullivan
One of my users is having a problem with FTP access to my server.  He
says that he can connect and get a listing for his home directory, but
he can't do anything beyond seeing the listing.  He's connecting from
outside the network.  I can connect and interact with my personal
account through FTP just fine from inside the network, but everytime I
try to connect like he does (using ftp.espersunited.com) I get a 425
Security Bad IP error.  I don't have access to a computer physically
outside the network to use to diagnose this problem, so working around
this Bad IP error is my only option.  The IP address that
ftp.espersunited.com points to is the external address of my router, so
it might be complaining because the requesting IP is the same as the
requested IP.  Any help on fixing this?  Google and the vsftpd.conf man

 Pleae be aware of how FTP works: there are two connections per user - one
 is the control port and one is for data. With active FTP, the user's FTP
 client picks a local port number for the data port. With passive FTP, the
 server picks a data port number and tells the client what port number to
 use. Obviously, your router and/or firewall needs to be configured to
 allow both types of ports into your LAN and to forward the ports to the
 correct place. Passive FTP is better from a firewall point of view but
 your firewall still needs to know to open the port for incoming
 connections. If you firewall is not capable of doing that then this wont
 work and you may need to put you FTP server outside of your firewall in a
 DMZ.

The user can login with his username and password and get a listing of
his home directory just fine (as I said above) so I don't see how this
could be a firewall issue.  Nevertheless, I checked the firewall and
port forwarding settings in my router.  TCP port 21 is forwarded to port
21 of 192.168.1.2, which is my server box.

[gentoo-user] OT - vsftp revisited

2005-08-19 Thread Michael Sullivan
I have a user who can't upload files to his account on my server.  He
can connect and log in, he can see the files and directories in his home
directory, but he can't interact with them.  I can log into my personal
account via the external IP of my router and interact with my personal
account just fine, so I'm not sure why he can't use his.  Here's the
information I've been able to gather:

He is using FireFTP as his client on Windows XP.

He can log into the FTP server, his home directory loads, but he can't
move from his home directory to any of the subdirectories under his home
directory.

Here is the log output from his most recent attempt, taken
from /var/log/vsftpd.log:

I have no idea even how to start solving this problem.  I don't have
access to a computer outside my network with Internet access, so I've
only been able to try connecting to the same address he does, except
from inside the network.  Can anyone help me out here?

[gentoo-user] Trouble with mysql

I am having trouble with /etc/init.d/mysql.  I rebooted my system, and
when it finished rebooting I tried to connect to the mysql daemon and
failed.  I looked in /var/log/mysql:  There was a file there called

I tried netstat | grep '3306':

 Try netstat -an | grep 3306. The -n option forces netstat to show port
 numbers and not translate them to familiar names. The -p option is
 also useful to determine what program has opened the port.
 
 Eric

I ran netstat with -an grepping for port 3306.  It found it:

bullet ~ # netstat -an | grep 3306
tcp0  0 127.0.0.1:3306  0.0.0.0:*

so I grepp'd netstat for mysql:

bullet ~ # netstat | grep 'mysql'
unix  3  [ ] STREAM CONNECTING
0  /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

It was running, so I tried using the mysql client:

bullet ~ # mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

 Until you determine what is starting it, dont reboot. It just puts

 mysql already running. Its gotta be starting in the init scripts
 somehow, and if its not in /etc/init.d/mysql I would check for other
 scripts starting it. 
 
 # grep mysql /etc/init.d/*

I ran /etc/init.d/mysql stop and it stopped without error - all of them.
I ran /etc/init.d/mysql start and it started again - now there are a
whole lot of them in the ps listing, but I can connect with the mysql

Michael,
I've had the same problem before.  In order for Mailman to work 
properly, it has to know the gid of the mail program at compile time.  
In this case it was told the mail program's gid was that of group 
mailman, but when the script was executed it was with the gid of
group 
deamon.  The easiest way I've found (and possibly the only?) to fix
it 
is to use vigr to get the gid of the daemon group, then edit the
mailman 
ebuild file.  Right near the top of the file is an option for setting 
the mail-gid.  Change that number to the one you found from vigr, then 
re-emerge mailman.  Keep in mind that you'll have to repeat this 
procedure every time you upgrade mailman because the new ebuild won't 
have your changes in it.

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail
wrapper script to be executed as group mailman, but
the system's mail server executed the mail script as
group daemon.  Try tweaking the mail server to run the
script as group mailman, or re-run configure, 
providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=daemon'.

I figured out how to get mythfrontend to connect to the database.  I did
what you said and changed camille to localhost.  Now I have a new
problem; I can't watch LiveTV.  I'm not sure why.  If I go to Schedule

get some funky output in my terminal.  Here's the important info:

[gentoo-user] OT - More Mythtv problems

2006-06-18 Thread Michael Sullivan
OK.  I'm using mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1.  I have a few questions:

First of all, it takes a really long time to register any kind of
database action (around five seconds), so if I say to record a program,
or to not record a program that is set to record, it takes a really long
time for it to register.  Is there any way I could speed it up?

Secondly, I have no sound in MythTV - at least when watching LiveTV.  Is
there something else I have to set up?  I have perfect sound in xmms.  I
use alsa.  How can I get sound in Myth?

Thirdly, what happened to the buffering aspect when watching LiveTV?  I
don't want LiveTV I watch to stick around forever taking up space, and I
don't want to have to delete the programs I watch in LiveTV manually
inside the interface, or outside in the shell.  Is there a way I can get
the old behaviour back?

Fourthly, when I'm looking at a listing, I'd like to see the callsign
(ABC, FOX, Disney, etc, etc) instead of the channel number.  Is this
possible?

Thanks for your help!

Since my reinstall last week, when I su - to root from the michael

What do you make of this?  I found it in /var/log/messages:

There are several of these.  It looks to me as if someone is trying to

 The mail in question is still lying around somewhere under /var/spool 
 (depending on the MTA you are using). Find it and read it with an editor. 
 That might give you a hint what is going on.
 
 Also, read your MTA's log file to find out who has sent it.

 Here's the problem. This file is part of libkdegames.
 
 Which KDE version are you running. If you've switched from 3.4 to 3.5,
 you need to change the path to the cards in KPat's settings. Either use
 the menu or edit .kde/share/config/kpatrc.
 

I'm running KDE-3.5.2  .  Here's the deal; A couple of weeks ago I had
to completely wipe my hard drive and install everything again, so I
don't think it's a switching issue.  However, I might re-merge
libkdegames...

 Hi everybody,
 
 sorry for the OT. I've been using debug.exe (a little program for work
 with asm) at my college to learn about assembler and related
 concepts. Does anyone know some equivalent for linux?
 
 Thanks!

I remember DEBUG.EXE - I used to use it to change the copyright text in
COMMAND.COM from Microsoft Corp to MSullivan Tech.  I don't know of an
equivalent (I assume you want something interactive), but could you use
nasm?
