[gentoo-user] i18n issue
Hi! This is an issue for talking about i18n, I think that in general it's not well-built in Linux in general. These are main reasons: * I do use [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ISO-8859-15 encoding. I'm forced to use this, because if I used UTF-8, some special characters make us mad, and they don't work as they should. Another main reason, is that if I've everything compiled for ISO-8859-15 in locales.build, I'm NOT GOING to recompile all my system for making it UTF-8. * UTF-8 is an effort for making an universal encoding, but as I said before, It doesn't work perfectly for spanish users (I talk from my point of view, because is the thing that I know). * Without UTF-8, some apps like Totem creates problems in my system, this is a bug that I posted in gentoo and it's unconfirmed yet, but I would like you to think about it: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307617 Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Baselayout update blasted my wireless networking
Somewhere around Sat, Jun 18, 2005 at 04:26:26PM +0200, a message from Richard Fish went like this: I took another look at the /etc/pcmcia/network script, and it seems that it will run a the '/etc/pcmcia/wireless' script if it exists first, which will try to set the channel if you have one specified in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts. So, there seems to be a disconnect between the pcmcia-cs scripts and the baselayout scripts on how the wireless options should be specified and loaded. Well, that explains it! So, as the message says, the 'official' ways to get around this is to set: essid_eth1=any or: prefered_aps_eth1=( Speeder ) associate_order_eth1=forcepreferredonly or a couple of other methods that don't sound as interesting. The comments in wireless.example have the full documentation. There is also the brute-force method, which is to remove the iwconfig module from the eth1 module list, and create a preup function in /etc/conf.d/net that associates the wireless before ifconfig or the dhcp client runs. I've tried the preferred_aps_eth1, associate_order_eth1 route and did not have any luck with that, just a different error message. I've also tried the essid_eth1 any trick, still no love. However, I rebooted my laptop for the first time in a few days and found that it would no longer work manually anymore!!! I kept getting messages about an invalid option when trying to set the key with iwconfig. So to make a long story short, I took the key which looked like 112233445566778899aabbccd and made it into 1122-3344-5566-7788-99aa-bbcc-dd. Then iwconfig stopped complaining, dhcpcd worked and I was in. I modified the wireless script but have yet to try it out. I'll report back when I get some work done.

Re: [gentoo-user] Where can I download the gentoo binary for Ximian Evolution 2?
Perhaps his answer isn't clear enough. SOMEONE has to compile the source for Gentoo; to my knowledge, Portage doesn't store an pre-compiled binaries. Read the wikipedia entry for Gentoo, which states: Gentoo does not use binary packages as package management systems like RPM, instead employing a format known as the ebuild. The main difference between RPM files and ebuilds is that RPMs are precompiled binaries, whereas ebuilds are text files which contain a description of the software, and instructions on how to obtain, configure, compile, and install it. There are nearly nine-thousand-five-hundred ebuilds available; the majority of which are distributed by the Gentoo mirrors. New and updated ebuilds can be obtained by synchronizing the local ebuild repository with the mirrors. This is done by executing the command emerge --sync. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo. In short, you are not going to find an official binary packages for Gentoo, because there are none. Now, you can have someone you know compile them for you on a compatible system, and that will work.

Will he know that firefox is for surfing the Internet? and Thunderbird for reading his emails? I think that the response is No. That's a desktop environment issue. For example, the KDE menu has items like Web browser (Konqueror), making the name of the program irrelevant. We must do some things to make linux even better, and easier for that users. Internet Navigator instead of Firefox, My E-Mail instead of Thunderbird... you know... such things. mail-client contains 38 packages, which one becomes My E-Mail? What do you do about programs that don't fit into a single category, like Mozilla or Konqueror? Creating suitably named desktop menu or icon entries makes a lot more sense. Well... that's the most important point that I mean. There are lots of email clients, so Gnome or KDE could be configured (is in some way possible right now) to be one as default, and always that you clicked My Email would open the one that was set as default. For people that doesn't care about all those things and doesn't want to know more (MOST OF WINDOWS USERS), they DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE 254 email clients, that only will confuse them, and THINK THAT LINUX IS PRETTY HARD. So Linux could come with some defaults settings, that the people (like us) would change to make it more personal or better. But most of people (if we want linux to be in the desktop as windows is now), won't take care of. I think that my father wouldn't like to know that there are X email clients, and the features of each one. He only wants to click on MY EMAIL and read his new email. That's the point.

[gentoo-user] is DHCP required when using two NIC's?
I have two NIC's, one which is built into the mother board and one which is recently installed (this is on a dual boot system). before installing the second NIC I was able to configure an 802.11b/g network adapter from windows, and everything would run fine under linux. after putting in the new NIC on this particular computer, that's not happening.

Read the wikipedia entry for Gentoo, which states: Gentoo does not use binary packages as package management systems like RPM, instead employing a format known as the ebuild. The main difference between RPM files and ebuilds is that RPMs are precompiled binaries, whereas ebuilds are text files which contain a description of the software, and instructions on how to obtain, configure, compile, and install it. There are nearly nine-thousand-five-hundred ebuilds available; the majority of which are distributed by the Gentoo mirrors. New and updated ebuilds can be obtained by synchronizing the local ebuild repository with the mirrors. This is done by executing the command emerge --sync. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentoo. In short, you are not going to find an official binary packages for Gentoo, because there are none. Now, you can have someone you know compile them for you on a compatible system, and that will work.

[gentoo-user] OT: Stopping postfix error emails...
Sorry for the OT question, but here goes... I've set up the reject_unauth_destination in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions in postfix.conf because I was getting hammered with incoming mail to invalid users. I figured that by rejecting these messages the spammers on the other end might take the addresses out of their list(s), although I have no idea if this will actually be the case. So anyways that's working just fine, except now the smtpd daemon is flooding me with messages when it issues the 550 code back to the sending mail client when they try to send an email to an unknown user. Anyone out there know how I can disable the sending of the smtpd daemon emails when this particular 550 error is being sent? Thanks in advance... Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] is DHCP required when using two NIC's?
I had a problem that was similar, my off-board NIC became eth0 and the on-board one became eth1, so I had to change all my config files to adapt to that.

[gentoo-user] Troubleshooting a spotty connection
First of all, I owe several people responses to their messages and I'm sorry I haven't taken care of that yet. I'm running around like a chicked with its head cut off right now and I will catch up with this list ASAP. I'm leaving the US for Europe tomorrow and... My desktop system has got to have a solid network connection for my employee to use. It used to work perfectly, but now it will work great and then drop completely out and then on and off over and over at non-regular intervals. I'm really not sure what happened, but I use FEATURES=buildpkg and I've tried every baselayout I've got with no luck. Looking at /var/log/portage, there doesn't seem to be anything else associated with the network that was emerged within the right window of time. It can't be a range problem because it used to work perfectly exactly where it is now. I've tried WPA and non-encrypted, along with wpa_supplicant and iwconfig with no luck. Is there some debugging I can turn on to get a look at what's happening when the connection drops out? Any other ideas? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] shutting down with gnome active
Hello, I want to be able to shut down my computer just by either typing halt, or pressing the on/off switch on my computer. I have enabled acpi, enabled acpid, and so the halt button indeed shuts down the computer. However when I have some programs like mozilla and mythfrontend open in gnome when I shut down, the next time I boot I get several mythfrontends, a mozilla and several profile managers. Why is this, and can I avoid it? with kde I don't have this problem, but I can't get normal-sized fonts there (too small) so I gave up on kde for a while.

[gentoo-user] Where does package.provided go?
Since emerge -inject is depreciated, the way to tell emerge that a package is already installed is to list it in package.provided. It seems there is some confusion as to where package.provided should be placed. The portage man page talks about /etc/make.profile/ but I have seen other documentation (I believe in the gentoo wiki) which says put in /etc/portage/. The problem is that emerge ignores it in /etc/portage and an emerge sync removes it from /etc/make.profile/.

[gentoo-user] logout a gnome session with commandline?
Hello. I often remotely login to my other computer using XDMCP (run
gdom, select XDMCP chooser...) but the connection could be broken for
many reasons (connection down, or the host I am using gets down). The
next time I login, it would prompt me something like you are logined in
from another place, do you still wish to login , and if I click
'yes', I will see dozens of startup application crash because they
cannot run twice by same user.
Is it possible I logout my previous (connection broken) session by using
commandline? Thus I could ssh gets into the host, run the command, and
re-login.
The local administrator have a straight forward method of
#ps U zhangweiwu | awk {print $1} | xargs kill -TERM
This solves the problem instantly! I just feeling courious if there are
'better' methods. I remember when I was on Windows there is something
like 'session manager' where each logged in session can be manually 'log
out', is there similar thing on gnome?

Re: [gentoo-user] PCMCIA Laptop problems
Ian K wrote: Hey Again, Im not sure, but I think Linux is having issues with my PCMCIA cardbus. Cardmgr works, and it 'watches 1 socket' quite nicely, (at bootup). Ian, the DWL-650+ is a 32-bit CardBus card, so configuring and setting up pcmcia and the associated card services is not going to help you here. In your kernel, you should have PCCard, 32-bit CardBus, and CardBus yenta-compatible all compiled in under Bus options-PCCARD. After building that kernel, you should see stuff in dmesg or /v/l/messages appear when you insert or remove the card, and should appear in the output of 'lspci'. Then you can continue on with setting up ndis wrapper, or search for a native driver for the card. If it is atheros based, the madwifi driver should work. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Filesystem wars - ReiserFS 3.6 vs. JFS
Who is Colonel Panic and why did he crash my computer? :-P Anyway, I had a kernel panic, which ended up destroying my ReiserFS partition. I had to rebuild the tree from scratch as reiserfsck recommended, and I ended up with my complete Gentoo install in the lost+found folder. I salvaged what I wanted (distfiles and some configuration files from /etc) to make re-installation much easier, and instead of renaming all the folders and moving them back into place (impossible, anyway), I'm going to reformat and re-install everything from scratch. Right now, I'm having PartitionMagic 8.0 check each sector of the disk, to see if it was a hardware problem. (It'd better not be, I bought this disk not even a year ago!) I might go with ReiserFS again, because no filesystem is perfect, but Reiser comes very close to it despite this latest problem. I'm also considering JFS, but I can't find any comments about it. Has anyone on this list had any experience with JFS as a general-purpose file system, and would you recommend it over ReiserFS 3.6? -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
