Re: [gentoo-user] rc-update net.wlan0?
Mark, Sorry long delay -- slighly busy lately! Since I was only kinda-halfway watching this thread, and have forgotten several details, if you still need this help, could you please briefly summarize your before setting results and your new-install setings results, then I will (finally!) be able to check the Linux boot for the ifo for you. Again, I apologize for the long silence; I just -did- -not- have time to even _look_ at any email that was not urgent to making a living, much less answer it; just moved it to local storage to keep the inbox available...

I'm sure some of us out hee could step you through this if you are willing need help (I don't remember if you said your skil-level, although I am assuming that you probably do not need help for such a triviality). best, rgh. Robert, I was wondering about that over lunch. Do you mean just using route commands somewhere (where actually?) and setting up routes that say what wlan0's address and the default gateway are? If so where would I put those??? My skills on a scale of 1-10 are probably unmeasurably low. I can imagine putting some route commands someplace like /etc/conf.d/local./start. Is that the right place? (Assuming this is even what you meant!) If it is I think I should be able to test that idea by hand. I don't know how to test this idea though. For kicks I made up a device called wlan1 and (with no /etc/inid.d/net.wlan1 file and no wlan1 entries in the net config file) tried to make some routes: dragonfly ~ # route add -net 192.168.9.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev wlan1 SIOCADDRT: No such device dragonfly ~ # I presume that if wlan1 existed I'd be telling the system to route everything destined to the bus 192.168.9.X through wlan1, correct? Anyway, it didn't work. Would it work if I copied net.wlan0 to net.wlan1 and added wlan1 entries in /etc/conf.d/net?? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Both samba and cups depend on networking. and to enlarge on that when you restart networking, you restart any services that depend on networking. Yes, that's what I thought must be happening. However I have multiple interefaces - lo, eth, and wlan0. I restart wlan0 and it seems that I get these messages. If I was restarting all networking I could understand that but I would have thought that if I restart only a single interface it wouldn't require a complete restart of everything that depends on networking. This may seem like a small issue. I'm not sure it is. (What do I know...I'm not that smart.) Since the machine is running MythTV and Myth requires mythbackend and mythbackend requires mysql and mysql is bound to eth0 when I restart wlan0 it seems a stretch to say that all of this stuff should have to go through a restart. I'm somewhat concerned that it's going to interfere with Myth doing what I want it to do. No eveidence yet that it does. It's just a concern. instead of restarting wlan0, try using pause instead. Its in TFM here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2chap=4 If you want to stop a service, but not the services that depend on it, you can use the pause argument: like /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 pause start (I think you can give two commands on one line, if it doesn't work like that use: /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 pause /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start ) thanks for the info.

Lemme know, rgh. Hi Robert, Thanks for responding. No problem about the delay. I could still use some help. I have filed a couple of bug reports around this issue. However none of the ideas or responses I've gotten really get to the root issue for me. Let me recap: 1) I have a desktop machine with a wireless connection. The wireless connection is weak (I think...) or maybe I have wireless misconfigured and it doesn't work well. I'm not sure which. However the bottom line is that at boot time the machine never connects with the router. 2) This machine and a second machine in the house used to run Fedora Core 2. Under FC2 if either of these machines didn't attach to the router at boot time then FC2 would continue to try to connect on its own. It would eventually attach to the network and the user could start using the network. The important aspect about this is that it took no root level access under FC2. It only took time. 3) I converted one of these desktop machines to Gentoo. I use Gentoo elsewhere in the house and am more or less comfortable with it at a high level. We wanted to run MythTV and I was far more confident that I could get Myth working under Gentoo. Indeed in under a day I was recording TV shows. However there have been problems if the machine needs to go through a reboot. The problems look like: a) Networking doesn't start because the signal is weak b) MySQL cannot start because it depends on networking being up c) MythTV doesn't start because it depends on MySQL being up d) sshd doesn't start because networking isn't up e) samba doesn't start because networking isn't up f) strangely nfs does start without networking being up Overall it's a mess because to clean up from all of this as it requires root access and essentially me, not my wife or son. FC2 was FAR more friendly. I think that it should be a standard idea that a portable with wireless connectivity could be booted outside of any access point's reach and then come into the area of coverage. If a portable did this you would expect it to connect to the network without having to become root to do so. I am guessing that a Gentoo machine wouldn't, or at least the way mine is configured it wouldn't. I hope it's clear that I think there's a 90% chance that the problem is mine and not the distro's but I don't know much else to do. Things I've tried: Since the machine had a built in wired NIC I tried starting net.eth0 on an address I don't use. net.eth0 starts but MySQL doesn't like it because the network it is bound to (the wireless network) isn't up so this still requires root intervention running /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start by hand. Editing /etc/conf.d/rc and changing to RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING=none. This at least allows things like sshd to get started without wlan0 being online but it doesn't actually get the machine to continue to connect to the network. I looked at a package that is supposed to check if things are running and then it will start them if they are down. I couldn't figure out how to configure it and gave up. Things I've not tried: Any sudo solution. Seems that it would certainly work but it's not pretty. Thanks sort of the very long winded statement about where things are. Don't know what else to do right now. The real issue is getting wlan0 up without root intervention. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is there an existing software (perhaps an education software) can do the following function? The student reads aloud a piece of text to the microphone. The software records the voice and compare it to the wave file pre-recorded by the teacher, and gives out a score to indicate the similarity between them. This function will help students to pronounce properly when learning foreign languages. If there is no such a usable application exists, but a library can do the voice compare algorithm, I would like to develop an app upon it.

Re: [gentoo-user] what's the deal with use flags in (brackets)?
What they're saying is that SSE/SSE2/MMX and so on are automatically applied without the flags. The flags are only there because not every x86 chip supports SSE, SSE2, and so on. On AMD64, the flags are ignored and it's compiled with any of those processor optimizations that it knowingly supports. If something came out that was AMD64 Generation 2 specific (and wasn't supported by regular AMD64), it'd have a USE flag that only works on AMD64. And you wouldn't want to turn that flag on on a normal AMD64, since it doesn't support it. Right now, if you compile mplayer, you'll get MMX/SSE/SSE2/3DNOW and all that crap. Just there are no special USE flags for it.On 4/30/05, Kiawud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:On 4/29/05, Ciaran McCreesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 29 Apr 2005 16:54:57 + Calvin Spealman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | i dont understand whats going on here.

[gentoo-user] software prototype
Hello, i've been thinking about a new software and i would like the opinion from the community about it's viability. It's not directly related to Gentoo but OSS in general. The name i believe would describe it the best is 'helpforge' the sameway it exists 'howtoforge' and 'sourceforge'. The main goal is to relate the sameway to 'contributing' as sourceforge to deploy software. It would abstract technologies (cvs,svn,whatever) from the common user enabling him to have an access to a portal whre he could browse 'task requests' in a categorized way. Perhaps the most elucidating example would be a translation. I'm coding software 'X' and would like to translate the manuals to some foreign language, i could (assuming my project is registered in the portal) submit a 'task request'. Then, Joe (an happy guy who doesnt now anything about cvs nor my project or even what is OSS) who has access to the site and was perhaps an interpreter would read the task information and think 'Hey i can do this', download the files, translate them and re-submit them. Then, another guy could 'verify' the task (check for errors) and evaluate the 'contributor performance' and rate him. Then task would then be complete and the developer notified. I'm considering it could have the profiles : - developers (the project owners) - contributers (the one who contribute) - reviewers (those who review the work done) The reviewing component seems interesting as it could minimize the chance for errors. Also the 'contributor rating' could enable better rated contributors to have access to harder and more important tasks. The portal would categorize the tasks like translations, database designs, UI designs, etc etc, the more the better. Also of could it would contain information on how to access code repository's, project information and such. Integration with sourceforge would minimize duplicate project information. As i say, these are mere guidelines, what do you think? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
