[gentoo-user] Cannot recompile KDE programs

2005-06-06 Thread Alexander Skwar
Hello!

Since recently, I'm unable to recompile any KDE program.
For example, I get this error when I try to compile arts 3.4.1:

make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/flow'
../mcopidl/mcopidl -t ../flow/artsflow.idl
../mcopidl/mcopidl -t ../flow/artsflow.idl
make[3]: *** [artsflow.cc] Speicherzugriffsfehler

(Segfault)

Sadly, I neither know when this problem started nor what I changed
at that time.

When I run mcopidl manually with sh -x, I see:

$ sh -x ../mcopidl/mcopidl
[...]
+ test -f /var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/mcopidl/.libs/lt-mcopidl
+ test '' '!=' '%%%MAGIC variable%%%'
+ 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/mcopidl/../mcop/.libs:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4:
+ exec /var/tmp/portage/arts-3.4.1/work/arts-1.4.1/mcopidl/.libs/lt-mcopidl
Speicherzugriffsfehler

So, it is lt-mcopidl that's segfaulting. I also created an
strace output, available at 
http://stuff.alexander.skwar.name/arts.lt-mcopidl.strace.txt
But I don't see the cause of the problem in the strace output :(

[gentoo-user] [OT!] A new desktop enviornment?

2005-06-06 Thread Ian K
Hey everyone.
Please note that this post is OFF TOPIC!
With that said:

I found this on GNOME-LOOK.org and thought you all may be interested.

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=25009forummode=0forumpage=0forumexplevel=3

Its basically a new DE under development. The author wants a lot of ideas.
I personally have emailed and posted a few to him.
What are your thoughts?

And out of my curiousity,
what do you think of that idea I had, to make it extremely similar
to Windows Longhorn or better, Mac OS? IMHO Longhorn and OSX look very nice,
and sadly with the exception of baghira and kxdocker there aren't very many
ways to create an apple look, much less a Longhorn clone. Do you agree?

Cheers,
Ian

[gentoo-user] busybox/e2fsprogs compile error

2005-06-06 Thread Bogo Mipps
Hi Guys

Real stupid question I know. Undoubtedly very simple answer.  Searches reveal 
nothing.  So why only me?  I've tried all available Busybox versions under 
Portage.  All give same error.

snip
sys-apps/busybox-1.00-r4 failed.
d=`dirname e2fsprogs/Makefile`; [ -d $d ] || mkdir -p $d;
cp /usr/tmp/portage/busybox-1.00-r4/work/busybox-1.00/e2fsprogs/Makefile 
e2fsprogs/Makefile
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.config`, needed by `include/config.h`.
Stop
snip

Help appreciated.

I'm guessing that maybe you are using USE=savedconfig

My thoughts, as with much else in Open Source is Why?.
Do we need yet another desktop environment/ window manager? (Do we need
yet another FTP/mail client? Another distribution?) Probably not
compatible with anything previously existing (in ways of API or GUI
from the end user point of view).

Anyway, good luck to the project - hope they survive...

[gentoo-user] [NEWBIE] emerge blocked

Hi all,

I tried to do an sync/update but emerge is complaining. What should I do

 Have you looked at buildpkg Matthias?  I've used it before on similar
 machines.  Seems to work ok.  Granted, you can't just `emerge -upD
 world` on the copies, but you may get away with minimal effort.

You can if you use a shared PKGDIR and add -k to the emerge options.

 This happens sometimes, might be incomplete file on this mirror, or some

 Try deleting the file from /usr/portage/distifles and trying again, if

 If after a day this happens again, first get the sources from primary

Gamin is the new famd for gnome and it's better too, uses the

Could anybody shortly explain me what it means??
My understanding is: Packets' destination is 192.168.0.250, comes into
ppp0 and then trough eth0 goes to 192.168.0.250. These packets are
dropped by firewall, i.e. not allowed to come in.
ppp0 - is the 1st interface of the server connected to the adsl modem
eth0 - second interface of the server
192.168.0.250 -  ip adress of the pc in lan.
But I can't understand if these packets are the reply to my request

   My cpuinfo output is very similar to yours.  My CPU is an earlier
 Intel PIII (Katmai instead of Coppermine) running at 450 mhz.  My flags
 line in /proc/cpuinfo is identical to yours.  I recommend CFLAGS...
 
 CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mmmx -msse 
 -mfpmath=sse
 
   And include the two items...  mmx sse  ...in your USE variable.  Set
 
 MAKEOPTS=-j2
 
   How much it speeds up your programs depends on what the programs do.
 A database program that exercises your hard drive won't speed up much.
 But cpu-intensive stuff, like mplayer decoding streaming video in real-
 time (without dropping framesg), or gnumeric re-calculating a
 spreadsheet, will run noticably faster.
 
   A list of valid general USE flags is in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc
 
   In /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc there is a list of USE flags
 that apply to only 1 or 2 applications each.  You should use those flags
 in /etc/portage/package.use

[gentoo-user] SPAM trouble

2005-06-06 Thread Patrick Marquetecken
Hi,

I have activated on my home server spamassin with rules only on server
level not on users level.
Now my daughter sends from school with her hotmail address emails at home
with her school work, it’s always an empty body (only a fixed hotmail
line, see content preview) and MS word attachments.
Everytime its spam, so I have put her address to the white list but this
does not help.
How can i avoid that her emails are getting tagged as spam.
Patrick

Have you tried using,

to make SpamAssassin more accurate? It worked fine for me. Just mark
your daughters mail as ham and SpamAssassin should leave it alone.

[gentoo-user] /etc/shadow syntax

2005-06-06 Thread Hans Hvelplund Odborg
I can't seem to find any official documentation on /etc/shadow syntax.
Searching google I find loads of conflicting explantions of the meaning of
x,!,!!,* in the password field.

man 5 shadow only says:
The password field must be filled. The encryped password consists of 13 to
24 characters from the 64 character alphabet a thru z, A thru Z, 0 thru 9,
interpreted.

At this point i'm getting pretty frustrated search for documentation. So
what is it? And how did you find out?

The given password is encrypted, and then compared to whatever is in
the password field in /etc/shadow (or /etc/passwd). If they match, the
password is valid. So entering anything that cannot be valid into the
password field means that no password will be valid.

Whether you choose to use x, !, !!, * or some other variant is up to
you. Yes, x works in this case too since it is too short to be a
salt followed by an encrypted password.

[gentoo-user] Logitech Duo Mouse resolution

2005-06-06 Thread Simon Maynard
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had any success with the Logitech MX700
and 800dpi support? I have tried using the logitech_applet on freshmeat,
but it doesn't seem to get on with my Logitch Duo receiver, informing me
that the receiver does not support 800dpi.

I have followed the howto here
( http://docs.tenshu.net/Logitech-MX-Duo-mini-HOWTO/index.html ) but I
don't think that just setting Resolution to 800 in xorg.conf works. Is
there a way of telling what resolution the mouse is actually running at?

Thanks,
Simon

Hello,

I've followed the instructions at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_emerge_e17 to install Enlightenment and
Entrance, but I can't open a desktop session. xdm opens Entrance, but
when I input my user and pass it goes black for a moment (as if it
were changing the resolution) and goes back to entrance login without
prompting a word.

What can go wrong?

 You can if you use a shared PKGDIR and add -k to the emerge options.

No, I hadn't lookt at this yet, but it seems easy enough, thanks! So it
seems I could have one master where I change the configuration and
build binary packages along the way, and all the other machines would
just run emerge -uDk in a cron job...sounds easy enough. Then I could
also get /usr/portage over NFS and wouldn't even have to emerge --sync
on the workstations any more, right? Hm...the only remaining problem I
can think of right now (I'm sure others will pop up once I try it ;)) is
configfile management. A nightly removal of all the ._cfg* files plus
some scheme to keep the configs in sync with an SVN server should do it.

cheers!

 Whether you choose to use x, !, !!, * or some other variant is up to

seems to be the main problem here. You can pay a look to
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_0_x.html
You'll find how to change the score at the beginning of the page.

Also, you can instruct procmail to deliver email coming from that

  I use Eye of Gnome most of the time but I also like gThumb and earlier
 tonight I found an interesting app called Pornview which seems very
 full featured.  All three of these apps integrate well with Gnome
 although I'm not sure if Pornview is in portage as I installed it on a
 Ubuntu system.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to go with gthumb.  My current camera
doesn't integrate with gphoto2, but I'm getting a new one that I'm
sure will.  It looks like gthumb has a gphoto2 USE flag so I can use
gthumb now and then integrate it with gphoto2 when I get my new
supported camera.  Slick.

[gentoo-user] How do I set xorg.conf monitor scan rates for S-Video/TV output?

2005-06-06 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi,
   I have two machines (my laptop and a Pundit-R) that both have
S-Video outputs which I would like to run X over to do MythTV with
talking to TVs. Both machines are ATI-based.

   The Pundit-R is set up to use the S-Video output instead of a
monitor and I get all text info from the boot sequence and login on my
TV. I've emerged ati-drivers and am modprobing 'radeon' which results
in the following getting loaded:

myth11 root # lsmod
Module  Size  Used by
radeon 75776  0
drm60820  1 radeon
agpgart28968  1 drm
myth11 root #

   When I start X then X runs but the sync is wrong and the video is
laid over on it's side and rolling. I tried all the Alt-Ctrl-PageUp
settings but they all do this.

   I'm unclear how to choose my monitor scan rates for a TV. Any and
all clues really welcomed.

Thanks,
Mark

That option does not mean that you can not start emerge in parallel.
Is says that emerge should tell each instance of make to not compile in
parallel. Which is not the same.

What i meant is that you start emerge on one console and then before it is
finished start emerge on another as well.

 I think this may happen if you're emerging in parallel (e.g. emerge
started on 
 two consoles)
But since your college is having the same problem you propably aren't
runninng emerge twice.

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...

2005-06-06 Thread Digby Tarvin
I agree that trying to size partitions optimally is an annoying
chore, but I gather LVM should help with that problem - though I
havn't tried it yet.

However I disagree about the drive wear argument. Sensible partitioning
can be used to reduce seek time by keeping related data together, and
more importantly can significantly reduce the drive wear and tear
associated with the nightly backups. 

If rarely changing filesystems are mounted read-only, they don't need to
be scanned during the backups, and rebooting is much faster after a
crash.

For instance, here is a sample entry from my nightly backup script:
if mount|grep  /usr/local|grep -q read-only ;then
echo /usr/local is read-only, no backup required
else
echo Backing up /usr/local
/sbin/mount -u -o rw /backup/local
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avH /usr/local/ /backup/local
/sbin/mount -u -o ro,nosuid,nodev /backup/local
/sbin/mount -u -o ro,nosuid,nodev /usr/local

fi

In addition, the tape dumps simply are not practical if the hard drive
is not partitioned. I try to limit all my partitions to the size of a
single tape, which now is 60GB but until recently was 10GB.

Of course I can sympathise with with your view that it is always the
wrong partition that gets corrupted, but having everything on one
partition only makes that more certain.

If the root partition is kept small and fairly static, then the
chances of not having a runable base from which to repair the rest
of the system is greatly reduced. 

I have also had problems on some modest machines (32MB memory) trying
to run fsck on very large partitions when the system is not fully booted.

Regards,
DigbyT

Gphoto2 is for cameras that don't support USB Mass
Storage.  If USB Mass Storage is supported then use
that instead.

modprobe usb-storage

the kernel is  already 1.57M. Are you saying I should
reconfig the kernel? I recall modularizing most of the
stuff I wouldn't need until after the OS is up. Can
you suggest what to leave out? I seem to recall a
method of formatting a floppy 1,7M. But I didn't see
it in man fdformat or man mke2fs. Maybe a boot CD. But
that seems like a recipe for making coasters.

  


Well, things like usb, ieee1394, most filesystems (obviously you want to
keep ext2/3!), sound, and networking are the obvious choices for
becoming modules if they are not already.  If you want to post the
contents of the kernel config, I will take a look and see if anything
pops out at me.  The best command for this is probably:

grep -v ^# /usr/src/linux/.config | grep =y

This will return just those things that are compiled into the kernel,
not modules or unselected.

I can also give you the instructions for making a bootable CD if you
want to try that.  It isn't terribly hard, actually it is a bit easier
than getting grub to work from a hard disk!  But a CD-RW drive/disk
would be the most useful...

cd /tmp
mkdir -p cdboot/boot/grub
cd cdboot
cp /boot/vmlinuz boot/
cp /boot/grub/stage2_eltorito boot/grub/
cp /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz boot/grub/
cp /boot/grub/grub.conf boot/grub/menu.lst

Notice that the grub.conf file *must* be renamed to menu.lst.  You will
also need to edit 'boot/grub/menu.lst', and change all (hd0,1)/grub to
(cd)/boot/grub.  The result should be something like:

splashimage=(cd)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo
kernel (cd)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4

Finally, to make the ISO, run (should all be on one line, without the
backslashes):

mkisofs -o /tmp/cdboot.iso -R \
-b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
.

Burn /tmp/cdboot.iso to a CD-R[W], and you should be set.

 Ya here too, (but my wife is ok with it!)   :)
 

:-D

I would feel bad for you guys, but you lost in a fair fight, even if you
don't know it. I met Jorden via a user-to-user hardware help forum (!)
on the Internet (!!) and we formed a relationship while 3,643 miles
(5,864 km) apart (!!!).

So while you two get extra points for compliments (thank you :-D ), he
wins on speed (quick to appreciate my general coolness :rolleyes: ),
boldness (in daring to make his play), flat-out courage (he staked his
life savings to sponsor me as promised when I moved house to the
Netherlands from NYC), and stick-to-it-iveness (he hasn't thrown me out
yet :-) ).

However, despite my widely-acknowledged near-perfection :lol: , I am
more than willing to play upon your fragile emotional states after this
crushing blow :-) to pitch for work if anybody has got some. Work for
money would be (extremely) nice, but I'll take credits on a project that
would look good on a CV. Read on if you want to know more; otherwise,
feel free to delete this completely OT mail right now :-) .

By avocation, I'm a writer. This you may have guessed. For 'fun', I
write screenplays, but my 'working' day is spent on how-tos and
mini-manuals on forums and mailing lists like this one, as well as my
own side projects, most of which are ultimately designed to help me
write better how-tos and mini-manuals (though a couple of them are
designed to help me write better screenplays). I have been published (by
a now-defunct magazine, but I still have the original issues in which my
work appeared), and I can demonstrably write to spec and on deadline.
For examples of my style, one can of course look in the archives here,
or Google for 'motub' (the nick is the brand :-) ), but the best places
to look would be LQF, the forums of the Player's Resource Consortium at
nwnprc.netforums.co.uk/ , and a hosted piece at
www.shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=230 .

Unfortunately, the Linux Format forums (where I spent a lot of time
before I forced myself to cut back) recently upgraded (which was not by
any means the unfortunate part :-D ), and all of the previous post data
was lost. So all the 'good stuff' I had there is no longer publically
available.

By trade, I do Customer Service. I worked for over 10 years in CS in
various fields: the CBS television network, a film distribution company,
a temporary employment agency (by the name of Personnel Express; if you
happen to live in NYC and want to call them, or if you work out of the
agency and drop by, tell Stephanie, Paula, Nadine, and Randi--and Gwen
if she's still there-- hi for me). I've also done 'undocumented' work in
real-estate sales, retail sales, cable television production,
telemarketing, and worked as a paralegal in my 18 years of work experience.

Most of my CS work was also finance-related-- calculating how much
people were getting paid, or how much they were paying us, and
explaining to them why the amount was what it was (and making them like
it, or at least accept it gracefully). This is probably how I developed
the the extreme patience that people on this and other lists have
noticed and commented on. Unfortunately, good CS requires exceptional
communication skills, and while I am generally considered to speak very
good Dutch (I read better than I speak, but probably speak better than I
write) for someone who's been here only (now) 5 years, it's just not
good enough to do what I do, in the view of employers.

In fact, it's not good enough in my own view, either-- because
apparently I not only do Customer Service, but I am Customer Service
(in the same sense that I am a writer). I find that I treat helping
people on forums and mailing lists as if it was my work, and hold my
performance to the standards of gainful employment in the Customer
Service field. Which says a lot about what makes me tick vocationally,
but can be seen as a bit excessive, for no money :-) .

That's both a strength and a weakness of mine; I can get somewhat too
focused when I have a project on the table (and my definition of what
constitutes a project can be a bit loose). I'm also very stubbornly
independent of mind; I tend to unintentionally but inescapably perform
required tasks (correctly, but) by way of my own methodology, which is
not appropriate to the stricter traditional corporate atmospheres. I've
been told by my supervisor in such a corporation that I'm too
creative, which I must concede was an accurate summation. Another boss
told me that I had balls, which statement I took as a compliment
(despite the fact that she was firing me at the time she said it), and

Digby Tarvin wrote:

Personally I only use RAID for non-static filesystems (root changes
relatively rarely, and is small, so I just make a fresh backup after any
change. In addition I have twice been involved in trying to recover
filesystems (thankfully not my own) that have been lost *because* of
faulty RAID technology that behaved badly when a disk failed, so I
prefer to make regular incremental backups to a second off-site
machine as a much safer option.
  


Did I mention I am running RAID0...so yeah, I take the 'make frequent
backups' strategy to heart!! ;-  I rotate backups to a trio of USB hard
disks, that are not stored at the same location, and the most recent one
is never more than 48 hours out of date.


And as far as cryptograpic filesystems go, I usually only consider it
for user filesystems, as the system partitions are open source and
can be downloaded freely from the net. If I were really paranoid I
suppose I might want to encrypt the shadow password file, but the
main threat is hacking while system system is online, and the root
partition must be available unencrypted then. An encrypted root
partition would also get in the way of automated server recovery
if the system crashed while nobody was around.
  


Well, if you have decent physical security of the machine (i.e., a
server in a restricted access room, or even a typical desktop machine),
then yes, your biggest concern would be over the network.  But on my
laptop, my biggest risk of data being compromised is if the laptop is
stolen.  How safe would you feel about an unencrypted /etc/shadow if you
left one of those servers sitting outside on the street overnight!

Richard's partitioning scheme looks reasonable, except that my 
understanding of the logic behind the Unix filesystem structure
is that none of the files in /usr are needed for booting, so I
prefer to keep /usr as a separate mounted partition.

The only reason I know of for having both a /bin and a /usr/bin is
to separate the basic necesseties needed for booting (/bin) from
the ones that are not needed till you go into multi-user mode (/usr/bin).
Similarly for /lib vs /usr/lib.
  

As you say, /[s]bin and /usr/[s]bin have different uses...single user
vs. multi-user.  But I consider 'booting' to be everything that happens
between hitting the power switch and getting a login prompt for KDE. 
Again, probably just a difference in perspective between a server and a
desktop/laptop.

Also, pretty much all of the stuff in /usr/[s]bin, /usr/kde/*/bin, and
so on loads libraries from both /usr/lib and /lib, so it made sense to
me that all of this should be on a single partition.

P.S. One of the RAID snfau's went as follows:
a. company installs card based RAID solution and hence decides
it nolonger needs to make backups.
b.  one of the hard disks fails, system continues running...
c.  replacement drive is plugged in in place of failed drive,
   controller proceeds to overwrite the surviving drive with
the contents of the new drive, destroying remaining copy of
   companies data.
d.  company throws away raid card and goes back to manual backups...
  


FYI, the software RAID (when actually using the 'R' part of that
acronym) driver in Linux is infinitely smarter than that!

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...

2005-06-06 Thread Colin
On 6/5/05, Digby Tarvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Following on from the recent discussions on grub and booting,
 is there a good reason for having a separate partition for /boot,
 other than perhaps to overcome BIOS addressing limitations for
 people with very large root partitions??

A separate /boot partition is more than likely for compatibility with
older BIOSes.  (You'll notice that other architectures, AFAIK, don't
need it.)  Some older BIOSes won't see past a certain limit (504 MB,
2.1 GB, 8.4 GB, 33.8 GB, 137 GB) and consequently, depending on your
BIOS, if your boot partition extends past that limit or if your kernel
image is stored past that limit (when using CHS instead of LBA), your
system will be unbootable.

Other OSes may observe the 1024-cylinder and/or the 2 GB boot
boundaries.  The BIOS 1024 cylinder limitation exists because the
start and end cylinder values in the partition table, and some BIOSs,
have a maximum value of 1024.  Because some operating systems such as
DOS 6.22 use the CHS (Cylinder, Head, and Sector) values to address
sectors on the disk, they cannot access sectors beyond the 1024th
cylinder. When you start your computer, the BIOS boots the operating
system using the CHS values to locate the first sector of the bootable
partition. If the partition starts past the 1024 cylinder, the BIOS
may not be able to boot it because it cannot address a cylinder number
higher than 1024.  Defeat this limitation by using a BIOS with Int13h
or LBA support, or by using Linux. :-)

The 2 GB boot code boundary exists because, with some older
OSes/BIOSes, the CHS value of the beginning boot code sector must be
calculated in order to retrieve the sector's information and load and
execute the next part of the boot process.  Because of the way the
boot code is written, the sector value, computed from the CHS value,
must fit in a 16-bit register, thus the maximum value that can be kept
is 64K.  If the number is larger than 64K, the number is truncated,
resulting in an incorrect value that skews the remaining calculations.
The boot process fails to load and execute the needed sector, thus
preventing the OS from booting.  Most current hard disks have 63
sectors per track, creating a 64K boot code boundary at 2 GB.  If a
partition begins or extends beyond this boundary, the CHS value of the
partition's boot code sector cannot be correctly calculated;
therefore, the partition and its OS cannot boot.  AFAIK, this only
affects older OSes, like DOS and WinNT 4.0, and BIOSes that aren't set
to LBA mode.  Like not Linux. :-)

(Paraphrased from the PowerQuest PartitionMagic help file.  Please
don't sue me.)

Keeping /boot as a tiny partition at the front of the disk makes sure
that your system can boot despite whatever curveball your old software
can throw at it.  If you're confident that these problems don't affect
you, feel free to merge /boot and /.  I usually don't do it, but I
thought I'd try it out.

Once the kernel kicks in, the kernel can do translation so that all of
your disk is visible and usable.  This is done by compiling in
translation or passing hdx=stroke to genkernel kernels (LiveCD's
included).  Of course, drive overlay software is still an option if
that's the way you like it, or if you dual-boot Windows.

 Perhaps there is such a list, but I haven't found it.

 Emerging setserial must have fixed it, haven't rebooted yet (to check).
 Think this began after installing the new baselayout

Always good to know I'm not the only one (smile) !

No, that wasn't the case for me, as I last updated Baselayout 050327 .
There seems to be a problem if Setserial isn't installed,
but in that case surely it should still be included in 'system'.

Anyone have an explanation ?

Re: [gentoo-user] grub still broke

2005-06-06 Thread maxim wexler

 I can also give you the instructions for making a
 bootable CD if you
 want to try that.  It isn't terribly hard, actually
 it is a bit easier
 than getting grub to work from a hard disk!  But a
 CD-RW drive/disk
 would be the most useful...
 
 cd /tmp
 mkdir -p cdboot/boot/grub
 cd cdboot
 cp /boot/vmlinuz boot/
 cp /boot/grub/stage2_eltorito boot/grub/
 cp /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz boot/grub/
 cp /boot/grub/grub.conf boot/grub/menu.lst
 
 Notice that the grub.conf file *must* be renamed to
 menu.lst.  You will
 also need to edit 'boot/grub/menu.lst', and change
 all (hd0,1)/grub to
 (cd)/boot/grub.  The result should be something
 like:
 
 splashimage=(cd)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
 title Gentoo
 kernel (cd)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4
   ^
I'm guessing this should be (cdrom), my first
cd-drive(/dev/hdc)

Here's menu.lst, please check for errors:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(cdrom)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo
#root (hd0,1)
kernel (cdrom)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4
title=WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

 
 Finally, to make the ISO, run (should all be on one
 line, without the
 backslashes):
 
 mkisofs -o /tmp/cdboot.iso -R \
 -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \
 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
 \
 .
 
 Burn /tmp/cdboot.iso to a CD-R[W], and you should be
 set.

What is the preferred method to burn a CD? cdrecord?
It's not on my system. Popped in the 2005,0 pkg CD and
did

#mount /cdrom
#export PKGDIR =/cdrom
#emerge -av --usepkg cdrecord

and got

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy cdrecord

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...

2005-06-06 Thread Digby Tarvin
Hi,

I guess that means that you either have smaller disks than me, or a
larger tape drive...

But assuming you do regular backups, how do you figure out which
parts of the filesystem need to be scanned if the static stuff isn't
confined to a separate filesystem?

What do you use for your tape backpus? I prefer to use 'dump' for my
tape backups which really requires backups to be done by filesystem,
but I suppose if you use something else the partitioning might be
less critical. But I like to use the ability to mount filesytems
read-only to make sure that I know where changes have occured.

As far as usr/lib is concerned, historically it was not too important
except during software development. Putting shared libraries there is
comparitively recent, and it does seem a bit questionable to put programs
in /[s]bin that use shared libraries in /usr...

Perhaps this is the real explanation for the emergence of this 'boot'
partition. People that didn't understand that the root filesystem was
designed to be a self contained environment for the boot process had
introduced interdependencies, so a new 'minimal' filesystem for booting
was required. My adherence to the traditional layout means my root
partition is independent and under 2M, so I havn't needed a separate
'/boot' partition.

Regards,
DigbyT

 Hi,
 
 since my whole system (except /home) fits on one tape, the backup argument is

 is 
 gone, you have a problem ;)

A good reason may be security. On some boxes, I have a /boot on separate 
device, actually a flash disk (compact flash card on one and IDE flash disk 
on others), and since the flash can be physically locked against write with a 
jumper, without opening the box the kernel cannot be changed. That means my 
firewall is allways running only code I intended it to run, among others.

Another good reasons are disaster recovery scenario, or a migration of the 
whole system to the biger disc, or booting several different linux distros or 
distro versions on the top of single custom kernel (good for developers for 
library compatibility tests).

Re: [gentoo-user] Entrance (enlightenment) problem

2005-06-06 Thread Juan Ignacio Sánchez Lara
 Several questions:
 
 Are you selecting a specific WM from the drop-down menu, or are you just
 using Default? I am not certain that Entrance has/uses a Default
 setting, wherever it may come from. You'd think from /etc/rc.conf, but
 heck, GDM doesn't use that to set its default (it asks you, so it has
 its own config for this somewhere), so maybe Entrance doesn't either
 (although it never asked me about setting anything as default).
 
 Do you have any other WMs installed and listed, and have you tried
 logging into them instead? Do any of them work, and which ones do not?
I've tried not only default but enlightenment and kde (the WMs I
have). None worked. I've checked that the database entries correspond
with /etc/X11/Session files.

 
 If Enlightenment itself is the one that doesn't work, did you previously
 have e16 installed? I did, and even though e17 very kindly moved the
 previous enlightenment.desktop item in /etc/X11/Sessions to e16.desktop,
 neither the e16 entry appeared in the list, nor did choosing
 Enlightenment start e17.
e17 is the first Enlightenment release I install.

 
 This turned out to be because the exec line in the Enlightenment.desktop
 entry was still pointing to /usr/bin/enlightenment, whereas the binary
 for e17 is named something like enlightenment-0.17 (to distinguish it
 from the e16 binary). So I changed the exec line in the script, and then
 it was fine.
 
 However I uninstalled both e16 and e17 (I may reinstall e16, which I
 liked much better), and switched to fvwm anyway. But e17 sure is pretty,
 can't argue with that.
 
 Hope this helps,
 
 Holly

Hey Juan,

Entrance uses its own config file, /etc/entrance_config.db 
You'll need to use edb_gtk_ed or some other db editor to edit the file
and manually add the sessions to it. Your rc.conf looks fine, but that
only tells xdm to launch entrance rather than xdm, kdm, or gdm.

  Several questions:
 
  Are you selecting a specific WM from the drop-down menu, or are you just
  using Default? I am not certain that Entrance has/uses a Default
  setting, wherever it may come from. You'd think from /etc/rc.conf, but
  heck, GDM doesn't use that to set its default (it asks you, so it has
  its own config for this somewhere), so maybe Entrance doesn't either
  (although it never asked me about setting anything as default).
 
  Do you have any other WMs installed and listed, and have you tried
  logging into them instead? Do any of them work, and which ones do not?
 I've tried not only default but enlightenment and kde (the WMs I
 have). None worked. I've checked that the database entries correspond
 with /etc/X11/Session files.
 
 
  If Enlightenment itself is the one that doesn't work, did you previously
  have e16 installed? I did, and even though e17 very kindly moved the
  previous enlightenment.desktop item in /etc/X11/Sessions to e16.desktop,
  neither the e16 entry appeared in the list, nor did choosing
  Enlightenment start e17.
 e17 is the first Enlightenment release I install.
 
 
  This turned out to be because the exec line in the Enlightenment.desktop
  entry was still pointing to /usr/bin/enlightenment, whereas the binary
  for e17 is named something like enlightenment-0.17 (to distinguish it
  from the e16 binary). So I changed the exec line in the script, and then
  it was fine.
 
  However I uninstalled both e16 and e17 (I may reinstall e16, which I
  liked much better), and switched to fvwm anyway. But e17 sure is pretty,
  can't argue with that.
 
  Hope this helps,

No, it should be '(cd)'.  It is the device name that the stage2_eltorito

Linux at all.

Hmm, just to be safe, take out the #root (hd0,1) line completely. 
Everything else looks ok though.

What is the preferred method to burn a CD? cdrecord?
It's not on my system. Popped in the 2005,0 pkg CD and

app-cdr/cdrtools contains cdrecord.

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I set xorg.conf monitor scan rates for S-Video/TV output?

 You should not be modprobing 'radeon', which is the kernel frame-buffer
 driver, to use the ati-drivers.  The correct module name is something
 like 'fglrx'.  And if you haven't already, you will need to update
 xorg.conf to use the ATI driver ('fglrx' again, not 'radeon').
 
 -Richard

Richard,
   As you hopefully saw, since I posted it 30 minutes before you sent
this one, I've tried both. The problem I'm facing with fglrx right now
is that it disables the S-Video output and sends all X to the CRT
monitor. I'm looking for info on how to stop that from occurring.

   Thanks for the clarification that I should be concentrating on the
fglrx driver.

Re: [gentoo-user] /boot and booting...

2005-06-06 Thread Volker Armin Hemmann
Hi,

well I have a 120GB drive, splitt into 56GB system, 47GB home, 2GB swap, 
15MB /boot and a 'ply around partition' REST.

The /-partition  will fit fine on a single 35GB DLT, compression on or of does 
not matter, because / is never really full enough for needing more.. That is 
why, I just use tar and backup the whole mess on one tape and put it onto the 
shelves ;)

This takes some time, but in cases of a restore, I need a maximum of two tapes 
(home and /), instead of searching for the inc-backup tapes that have to be 
somewhere ...

[gentoo-user] updated gnome packages to 2.10, missing menus

2005-06-06 Thread Phill MV
A few hours ago I ran an emerge sync and an emerge -uva world. 
A handful of gnome packages went to 2.10 and I logged in and out to see
any differences and, well, my applications menu is missing.

How do I regenerate that thing?

Portage prevents the gthumb installer from writing to files gthumb  
does not own. If you want gthumb allow to do this,
FEATRUES=-sandbox emerge gthumb should work. It's probably a good  
idea to make a backup of this scrollkeeper_docs file just in case it

Is that the best solution?  I should just remove the sandbox feature
per emerge when I run into this?

It's caused many Gnome users grief... it appeared that it was either a
bad gnome.eclass or bad ebuilds...

This bug tracks it for AMD64 (but I also think it filters to all the
other arch's as well):
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92920

From my understanding of looking at the bug and the forums recently,
you should be able to sync in and it will be fixed...

I haven't tried it, so I've got a 50% upgraded Gnome desktop
(somewhere between 2.8 and 2.10)... but I'll do it when I get home
later today...

HTH,
