[gentoo-user] How do I get IPV6 working?
I've found out the hard way that IPV6 does work on the Gentoo LiveCD via my ISP, notwithstanding my IPV4-only router (must be tunneling of some sort). I'm trying to get it going on my second machine, but can't get anywhere. I assume there are some extra configuration details I need to set. Is there a detailed configuration for IPV6, or a mailing list? If someone on this group has gotten IPV6 working, tunneling over IPV4, I'd appreciate the details. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] USB Mass Storage Device with Gentoo Kernel 2.6.11
Hi NG, I try to get my external USB2.0 HDD working with my Gentoo-System with Kernel 2.6.11-r6. With Knoppix 3.3 there are no problems, there it is working good. But not with Gentoo! An USB stick which I also connect to my System works fine with my self-compiled kernel. The stick is on /dev/sda, and I use udev to use it as /dev/usbstick. I compiled all Modules for USB Storage into the kernel, also ohci, uhci and ehci. I have no USB2.0 support on my Mainboard (only USB1.1), so I plugged a PCI-Card with USB2.0-support into my System. When I connect the external storage to my computer /var/log/messages syas: Apr 27 19:50:44 neon usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 25 But there is no /dev/sdb (or /dev/sda if the stick is not connected) so udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb gives no infos.

Alternatively, do tail -f /var/log/messages while plugging the device in on Knopppix to see which modules are loaded. Comparing the output of lsmod before and after, and with the same on Gentoo, may also reveal some useful information. -- Neil Bothwick If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them? pgpsod0rg3UUh.pgp Description: PGP signature

Claudinei Matos schrieb: Hi guys, I'm own a Intel se7210tp1-e with a onboard Intel 6300ESB Raid Controller w/ two 80GB disks Well, I'm new to this hardware RAID things. My doubt is the follow: I've booted gentoo 2005.0 live-cd and when I typed fdisk -l I've got two disks printed: sda and sdb If your raid shows both drives under linux, instead of one drive, then it is not a true hardware raid. It is then a hardware raid which need os software support for the raid function. SATA raid is a little strange with kernel 2.6 and gentoo doesn't seem to fully support it yet. As of kernel 2.6 there is a new block device manager called device mapper. The device mapper is used to support this type of raid controler. Using a tool called dmraid you can have the RAID information read out of the disks, and dmraid will construct the device mapper devices which allow you to use the raid as such. After booting a 2005.0 livecd, you can check to see if running dmsetup ls shows you a raid device. If so, then the dmraid command and device mapper on the 2005.0 livdcd supports your controler. The dmraid on the 2005.0 livecd has some know problems. The version on the cd is 1.0.0.rc6. Specifically, sometimes it shows the capacitly of RAID 1 devices being less then what it is. Usually by a factor of two. ie 2 x 80GB in RAID 1 makes 80GB, however you end up with only 40GB in your raid. If this is the case, you can't simply use the normal livecd to install. There is a newer version of the dmraid tool. (1.0.0.rc7) which however fixes this. Look at the following links for help. http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/ http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-258981.html If you have a controler which has the about problem with RAID 1, let me know.

MythTV is a very useful package for recording TV, and pausing on demand TV (you never know when you'll get that annoying phonecall while watching your favourite program) It needs mySQL to store all its data (TV Listings and whatnot) - it downloads listings from a selection of sites using xmltv and stores them in the database along with other info (channels / what to record etc). Another advantage to myth is you can have the backend on one box, and watch from another over a network.

Sure. emerge --resume. --resume functionality is planned to be improved in the
future. However, at the moment emerging something else will kill the record
of the previous emerge. I usually do a quick manual loop for it like this:
# emerge -ep world | grep ebuild | awk '{print =substr($0, 17)}' world
# for x in $(world); do emerge --oneshot $x grep -v $x world world2
mv world2 world || break; done
The second and third lines are one line.
This allows me to stop and emerge something else first if I want to. If
something fails, it also means that I can play around with it until it is
merged without having to use --resume every time. Or you could remove the
|| break and have it continue on regardless of failures and you'll have a
list of problems at the end.

[gentoo-user] ATAPI burner recognition fails on kernel 2.6.11
Hi,
I have i865PE based mobo + SATA HDD on /dev/sda (primary/master).
I had to setup BIOS to SATA+PATA (combined) mode, for my burner,
which is secondary/master.
BIOS sees both drives and even (older) Knoppix 3.7 is booting no problem
(ide-scsi module is used for CDRW handling on /dev/scd0).
I like to use CDRW in ATAPI mode, but kernel 2.6.11
(I tried vanilla-sources-2.6.11.7 and also gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6)
do not recognize my burner, dmesg |grep hd shows only SATA HDD.
I tried to add hdx=cdrom (x={a,b,c,d}) to boot prompt, but it doesn't
help at all.
I also replaced the burner with another model without success.
If I replace it with PATA HDD, kernel recognizes it, but the HDD is
accessible via /dev/sdb (probably here the problem is - this is really
a bit strange for me).
There are my relevant kernel options:
CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y (ata cdrom)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y

CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y (i865 SATA)
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y (added by ghost)

Does anybody know, where the problem is ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
(.config of working SATA+PATA kernel would help me too.)

[gentoo-user] script to recursively unmask a package
Howdy,

kde-3.4.0. The HOWTO
Update KDE 3.3 to KDE 3.4

then add that package to

local $package = $ARGV[0];
while($flag) {
$flag = 0;
open my $fh, emerge $package -p| || die could not open:
emerge $package -p;
while($fh) {
if(/^\-\s+(.*)\-[\d\.]+\s+\(masked

unmask($1, $2);
$flag = 1;

}
}
close($fh);
}
}
# unmask the file by adding it to /etc/portage/package.keywords
sub unmask
{
local($name, $arch) = @_;
print unmasking: $name\n;
open my $fh, /etc/portage/package.keywords || die can't open

CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y (i865 SATA)
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y (added by ghost)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m (scsi cdrom)
Does anybody know, where the problem is ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
(.config of working SATA+PATA kernel would help me too.)
TIA noro
I could be wrong (don't have SATA yet), but I think maybe you also need
one or both of:
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y

Re: [gentoo-user] resume emerge after reboot
On Friday 29 April 2005 10:23, Daevid Vincent wrote: No, 'emerge --resume' is lame. It doesn't do what you're thinking it does. What you want is: ebuild path to last ebuild that was worked on merge should do the trick -- at least for the last package that was worked on. To find the last ebuild that was worked on, check /var/log/emerge.log... it'll be one of the last lines in the file. After that, you should be able to just issue the original emerge command, and it should pick up where it left off. This can be dangerous depending on the package you are trying to resume the compile of. There are also other side-effects of using ebuild (such as packages not being added to world) that will invariably lead to INVALID bugs. Regards, Jason Stubbs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] just another complement
Hi there all Sorry for bothering with such a lamer message, but, from times to times, specially when I set up a new server with Gentoo I feel the need to just say 'Gentoo is GREAT!' Congrats for the great work, thank you very much for such a fantastic system, the astonishing and always up to date documentation. -- []'s Bruno Trevisan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
